Chapter 166, the first production line
Huangping Town Galaxy Aerospace Industrial Base.
Originally, the entire huge industrial base was relatively deserted, but in recent months, the entire huge industrial base has begun to come alive.
With the development of the 'College Student Engineer' program, tens of thousands of graduates from major universities across the country have gathered here, injecting youthful vitality into the entire aerospace industry base and even the entire Huangping Town.
The tens of thousands of graduates are just the first batch, and they are mainly used to train engineers in the aerospace industry.
Well, of course, this is a nice way to put it, in fact, it is an aerospace worker.
Of course, their salary is also quite high, one grade higher than the ordinary clerical employees of the group company, but they are not as good as the people in the company's research institute, in between.
Tens of thousands of employees are enough for the current Galaxy Aerospace Industrial Base, but once private anti-gravity vehicles begin to break out in the future, these tens of thousands of people will definitely not be enough, and they will continue to recruit people at that time.
The entire aerospace industry base can be regarded as a base for the integration of production, education and research.
There are 10 factories used to build large spaceships alone, and nearly 100 factories used to build small aircraft such as Qingyun Aerospace Fighter and private anti-gravity spacecraft.
There is a huge research base, and now the tens of thousands of college students and engineers are recruited, they are not only aerospace workers, but their future development direction is also to the development of the scientific research system, of course, here, the main research is spacecraft and so on.
There is also a huge teaching base, the whole huge teaching base, the construction standard is built according to the standards of the university, there are many teaching buildings, there are many laboratories, there are also several huge libraries.
As for the living quarters, it is naturally indispensable, and it completely claims to be a system, and it is also very strictly militarized and closed management.
After all, it is a military industrial enterprise, and it also produces sharp weapons for Qingyun aerospace fighters, just the security team, there are thousands of people in the entire aerospace industry base, all of whom are composed of outstanding veterans, and they are also fully armed, plus all kinds of advanced security equipment, instruments, etc., even a mosquito flying in can be known immediately.
At this time, in a B001 factory, Qin Yi was wearing a white coat and studying the mass production of Qingyun Aerospace Fighter with Liu Peiqiang, Lu Qingwei and others.
In the aerospace industry base, the factory building is divided into two types, the A-type workshop is used to manufacture large anti-gravity spacecraft, and the B-type workshop is used to manufacture small anti-gravity vehicles.
Now it is this B001 plant that is really being put into construction and use, which is used to produce Qingyun Aerospace Fighters.
The factory building is very large, dozens of meters high and several kilometers long.
The lights in the factory are bright, and the incandescent lights on the top of the factory illuminate the place, even during the day, the lights here are always on.
A long assembly line extends from the head of the plant to the tail of the plant, and above the assembly line, in some areas, there are groups of engineers and scientists dressed in white who are debugging and modifying the entire assembly line.
At the front end of the assembly line, the prototype of several Qingyun aerospace fighters is quietly parked on the assembly line, on both sides of the assembly line, there are a lot of various machines, equipment, etc., and the college engineers who have studied for several months are very serious about learning to control the machine and so on.
"Our first production and assembly line has been basically commissioned, and we can almost achieve the goal of producing 100 aircraft per month and 1,000 Qingyun air and space fighters per year."
Liu Peiqiang pointed to the assembly line in front of him and said.
This assembly line is actually an assembly line, which is specially responsible for assembling the Qingyun Aerospace Fighter, and the core anti-gravity engine of the fighter is produced and assembled in another plant.
"The production of our entire Qingyun Aerospace Fighter is based on automobile manufacturing, and we produce our own core components, and we can purchase all the other parts and components, and we only produce them ourselves."
"The core anti-gravity engine plant has almost been debugged and will soon be put into production, and then there will be a problem of overcapacity."
"We expect to be able to complete the production of all the 300 Qingyun Aerospace Fighters before March 2022."
Liu Peiqiang is the general leader of the project and is very clear about all aspects of the Qingyun Aerospace Fighter.
"In fact, if our production line is running at full capacity, we will be able to have the ability to produce 10,000 Qingyun Aerospace Fighters per year."
"But now it's a time of peace, we can't use so many fighters at all, and we can't sell them to the global market, so we can only reduce our production capacity to 1,000 aircraft a year."
Qin Yi listened carefully, and nodded after listening, military products, Qin Yi didn't plan to make much money, there were too few orders from above, and they couldn't be sold globally, so it was destined that the military products project of Galaxy Aerospace was to have a good relationship with the boss and improve his own status.
The real money is still the private anti-gravity spacecraft, once the private anti-gravity aircraft began to popularize, constantly replacing cars, becoming a means of people's daily travel and transportation.
Then the market is very huge.
Worldwide, the annual production of hundreds of millions of cars, the total number of cars worldwide exceeds 1 billion, and the number of cars in China alone exceeds 300 million.
This is what Qin Yi likes, and it is also what Qin Yi has been working hard and fighting for.
"What about the output of the core anti-gravity engine production line?"
Thinking of this, Qin Yi asked Liu Peiqiang.
"Our projection is to produce 100,000 anti-gravity engines per year, but now all aspects are still in the trial operation stage, and we can only produce 10,000 anti-gravity engines per year at most."
"Of course, if we take the civilian route, the performance requirements of the anti-gravity engine can be reduced a lot, and our production capacity can be increased a lot."
Liu Peiqiang reported the data.
Qingyun Aerospace Fighter, its performance requirements and other aspects are very high, as the core of the anti-gravity engine, its performance requirements are naturally also very demanding.
However, the requirements for private anti-gravity vehicles are much lower.
Whether it is speed, maneuverability, or load and other aspects, private aircraft are naturally far inferior to the military Qingyun Aerospace Fighter, and the corresponding requirements for the core anti-gravity engine are much lower.
The cost is correspondingly much lower.
The cost of a Qingyun aerospace fighter is hundreds of millions, and the core anti-gravity engine requires a large amount of rare metals, which is expensive.
Ordinary is a private anti-gravity aircraft, because the requirements in all aspects are much lower, and the rare metals used in the core anti-gravity engine are very few, and they can even be replaced by some ordinary materials, and the cost is much lower.
The same large anti-gravity spaceship like the 'Houyi', its huge size, super large take-off weight, plus it can also fly in interstellar space, its core anti-gravity engine is even more expensive, and it needs to use more rare metals, and one such anti-gravity spaceship costs tens of billions.
The larger the anti-gravity engine, the more expensive it is to build, and it is on a straight upward trend.
"In terms of production, let's not care too much about it first, anyway, for now, the orders we have received are only 300 Qingyun Aerospace Fighters, and in terms of private anti-gravity aircraft, I estimate that it will not be able to launch until next year."
"So the key now is to train our team, sharpen a capable professional team, and use this team as a seed to cultivate, and continue to replicate and cultivate a larger team in the future."
"Focus on building the team and ensuring quality, and then study the speed."
Qin Yi thought about it and nodded.
The manufacture of anti-gravity aircraft is an extremely large project, and there are tens of thousands of large and small parts of a Qingyun air and space fighter.
Most of the parts are purchased, and Galaxy Aerospace does not produce them at all, while Galaxy Technology only produces the most important and core anti-gravity engines, control systems, idea control systems and assemblies.
Some people will think that this assembly is a very non-technical thing when they see it, on the contrary, in terms of anti-gravity aircraft, assembly is also a really technical thing.
This is like a high-precision machine tool, you will disassemble an original machine tool imported from abroad and then reassemble it, you will definitely be difficult to achieve the original accuracy, the reason is the same.
There is no technical content, and the assembly is certainly very simple.
However, the assembly of anti-gravity aircraft is related to the entire aircraft, and it is also a very technical process, and it is impossible to learn from the fruit company and outsource the assembly to Foxconn.
In the case of the assembly of the Qingyun Aerospace Fighter, there are several very special assembly areas on the entire huge assembly line, one of which is an assembly area, and the entire area is carried out in a very cold freezer, and the temperature is dozens of degrees Celsius.
At such a low temperature, the material will undergo thermal expansion and contraction, according to the different coefficients of thermal expansion and contraction of different materials, assembled at low temperature, after returning to the normal temperature, under the condition of different thermal expansion and cold contraction, some assembly parts and links can achieve the effect they envision, such as the simultaneous inlay connection, assembled at low temperature, and the material expands at high temperature, and the inlay can be very perfect, leaving no gap.
So don't think that assembly is a work link without technology, the real high-tech industry, assembly is also a very technical work.
PS: I heard that some Japanese car engines are assembled in the freezer, using different coefficients of thermal expansion and contraction between different materials, low-temperature assembly, back to the normal temperature, the performance of the engine is very superior, I don't know if it's true or not, but I think it should be groundless.
